We wax lyrical about the win at White Hart Lane and relish in the Mario show, the sterling stunner, the storage revival, the hendo and allen destruction and two fullbacks who can attack and defend and not do something stupid or repeatedly give away the ball.

The dissection of the Etihad debacle, the defence, the conditioning in midfield, the lack of cut up front, the formation, the injuries and what we can take in a positive sense from the game. We talk to Chris Bascombe of the telegraph on his views on the summer, transfers, the squad and the ins and outs. We then look to Sunday and White Hart Lane. We get the views of spurs fan and voice from the wheelerdealer radio podcast.
